Priorities

For a country that's simultaneously in the middle of two wars, a pandemic, and a serious recession, most of the population are really quite relaxed. Or obsessing over something completely different, of course.

I have a number of friends and relatives who've lost jobs and in some cases lose their homes due to the recession, on both sides of the Atlantic; arguably it's part of the reason why Chris lost his job as well, but that's debatable, and more likely internal university idiot politics.

The closure of the UHS had been talked about before the recession happened; reasons are difficult to pin down, but very unlikely to be financial / recession-related.
